W11482384 Whirlpool Water Filter Housing

The Water Filter Housing is a genuine OEM part designed for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is typically positioned inside the refrigerator, often behind the drawers designated for vegetables or crispers. This component serves as the enclosure for the water filter cartridge and establishes the connection points for the water lines that supply the ice maker and water dispenser.

Whirlpool's product range includes several well-known brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

Common indicators of a malfunctioning water filter housing are:

- Water leakage or dripping inside the refrigerator
- Difficulty in installing or replacing the water filter cartridge
- Persistent error messages about filter replacement
- Problems with the ice maker or water dispenser

These issues often stem from cracks or breaks in the housing, which can occur due to frequent filter replacements or impact damage. Over time, mineral deposits can also accumulate, leading to jams or sealing failures within the internal components.

This replacement housing is suitable for specific refrigerator models from Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, and others.
